I’ve found that many online courses say you don’t need much mathematics fundamentals to be a programmer, but inevitably, even in beginner courses, the underlying math was important to understand what was going on.

He turned to Khan Academy and a tutorial service call Yup. I can say the same when you start your journey on machine learning.

As a wall street quant, how deep do you understand the mathematics behind quantitative finance?

One thing that happens in Wall Street is “argument by mathematical intimidation.” So someone hands you 20 pages of greek formulas, and you have to understand the math well enough to go through those 20 pages, and say “this is crap” and explain to an MBA with no math ability why those equations are garbage.

P.S. I have been known to be the worst typist. Do not be offended by it as I like to bang stuff out and put priorty of what I do over typing. Maybe one day I can get a full time copy editor to help out. Do note I prefer videos as they are much easier to produce so check out my many video at youtube.com/quantlabs
